Costal trips are very popular for many vacationers. Incorporating water-based activities to a trip can provide excitement and a refreshing change from the normal routine. The Telegraph recently reported on some of the best locations to indulge your aquatic side.

Taking off from the mainland in Glasgow, Scotland in a seaplane to surrounding islands could be a way for vacationers to unwind. Some businesses offer affordable excursions that include wildlife observation and fishing.

In Turgutreis, Turkey, visitors can indulge in some smooth sailing aboard a private yacht in a flotilla. These trips offer boats for families or a shared-boat program for couples or singles. Many locals are eager to offer their services for various marine activities.

For those who are seeking a chillier adventure, Norway may be an ideal destination for winter kayaking, World Travel Guide reported. Travelers can paddle alongside polar bears in this icy landscape. The northern part of Norway is ideal for views of the North Pole, while the south hosts famous fjords that flow through impressive mountain views that are great for kayaking and sunbathers.
